Today was the day that me and Brian were going into town with my family to go to the tall ships in town. The tall ships was an exhibition were loads of different tall ships from all over the world who were in Dublin for a few days and were leaving on Sunday so we said we would go in and see the ships depart.
We picked up Brian in his house at like 9.45am and 2then we set off for town. We parked in the car park in The Temple Bar and then we walked over to the River Liffey and walked up alongside it until we found the ships, the Gardai and the 2000 people gathered at the River Liffey. We found a good spot that we could see the ships as they sailed out towards the sea. There was big step thing that me, Dean and my mam stood on so we could see over everybody’s heads. We had a perfect view of the first ship that was leaving.
We were all enjoying ourselves and we were singing; to the music that was playing on the first ship, dancing and waving at the sailors that had climbed up the ship so they were standing on wooden beams about 30 feet in the air.
2 little boats that obviously work which were smaller than the ships but had most power than them were pulling the boats out into the middle of the River Liffey. We only saw about 2 ships going out because they took so long to get out of their docking station. We set off through the crowds and made our way across a bridge and up the other side of the River Liffey. There was too many people for my liking because there was thousands of people who were just like sheep following everyone else and there was hundreds of people with buggies.
The sun was beaming down and it was roasting. We went over to The St. John Ambulance to talk to one of the people who were in it. We were talking to him for ages and then he brought us over to the ambulance and he let me and Dean have a look inside. It was so cool because I had never been in an ambulance before and it was really cool to see what one looked like inside.
After we set off back to the car because it was really hot. We were all hungry and because if we left later, we wouldn’t get out of town because there was so many people. We drove to the McDonalds in Lucan where you go down a hill to it, not the one at Super Quinn. We all got food and dug in because we felt like we were withering away. After that we got ice creams and then head off home.
When we got home, we listened to some music in the sitting room and then my mam and went out to look at some houses, so Dean went in the kitchen on the internet and me and Brian played some games on the wii. It was so funny because he was so competitive, we were playing athletics, table tennis and many other games. We even went on the wii fit plus to see how much we weighed and see if we were overweight or a perfect weight. We found out that Brian was a little bit heavier than me, so I was pleased because no girl wants to be heavier than her boyfriend.
We then decided to go out for a while, we walked down to Tesco and got some food and then just sat somewhere for a little while and just talked and had some fun. We then headed back to my house because it was about 8pm and we were a bit peckish. I put on some chicken goujauns and some small pizzas and then me, Brian, my mam and dad sat in front of the television and watched a movie called “Volcano”. Brian texted his mam and asked her could she collect him at 11.15pm instead of 11pm because he wanted to see the end of the movie. The movie was really good and we all enjoyed it. Then Brian left. I had a really good day with him and my family all together.
